I love the view from the bridge, which looks as if it hasn't changed since the bridge was built. The others are wonderful, too...

Did you get to Teston lock while you were at it?

Pronounced tees-un, of course! :o)

I didn't know that- about the pronunciation I mean.

Time was limited so I had to choose between walking to West Farleigh Church or to the lock- and I took the first option.

With the lock for another time! :o)

I love that bridge!
And Laura is right. That view has always been the same. Beautiful!

We have a lot of medieval bridges round here- most of them still carrying traffic.

So.... what do y'all do with all those sheep?

Best not to ask.

It do get awful lonesome down on the farm.

The view from the bridge puts me in mind of something you might see painted by Constable. ^_^

Yes, he favoured homely, unspectacular landscapes of this sort...
